In the second leg of the semi-final matchup against Inter, Barcelona will try to advance to the Champions League final with Robert Lewandowski. The first leg at Montjuic ended with a 3-3 result, although the Blaugrana were frustrated that they were unable to gain a lead over Milan.
The Polish striker sustained the injury during Barcelona’s thrilling 4-3 comeback victory over Celta Vigo on April 19, it should be mentioned. A tightness in his left thigh’s semitendinosus muscle forced him off in the 73rd minute.
His return was contingent upon how his body responded to treatment, as the club’s medical report did not establish a set recovery schedule.
Lewa is fit to play against Inter Milan
Lewandowski, fortunately for Barça, has improved significantly. On Sunday (today), two days prior to the match in Milan, he is scheduled to resume training. It is being said in the dressing room that his speedy recuperation is nothing short of miraculous.
His hard work and devotion have paid off, and manager Hansi Flick has now given him the all-clear to make a possible second-half appearance if circumstances warrant it.
Lewandowski is reportedly not going to start the game, but Flick intends to utilize him as a high-impact substitute. Ferran Torres is anticipated to start at the front of the line because he was rested completely against Real Valladolid.
Lewandowski’s availability adds crucial depth and experience, while the Spaniard’s recent form and fitness give Flick a dependable attacking option.
As previously reported, Alejandro Balde, a defender, has been ruled out of this match. Now, Barcelona has one of their most seasoned and productive players at their disposal to help out when needed. Even if Lewandowski is only back for 30 minutes, it may be the difference.
